Kylie explained that (negative 4 x + 9) squared will result in a difference of squares because (negative 4 x + 9) squared = (neg
ative 4 x) squared + (9) squared = 16 x squared + 81. Which statement best describes Kylie's explanation? Kylie is correct. Kylie correctly understood that it is a difference of squares, but she did not determine the product correctly. Kylie did not understand that this is a perfect square trinomial, and she did not determine the product correctly. Kylie determined the product correctly, but she did not understand that this is a perfect square trinomial.

This is because the product will be a trinomial and the polynomial will not result in a difference of squares. A difference of squares is when the factor are inverse to each other.
We can use the is/of=p/100 method for this problem. Since it's 15% off, this would mean that the bill is 85% of what it was initially. Plug the values into the is/of=p/100 formula.
36.72/x = 85/100
Solve for x.
x=36.72/0.85
x=43.2
So, the bill was $43.20 before applying the voucher discount of 15% off.
